Why agentsmith?

agent era

agentsmith is single-purpose, scriptable, and self-hostable: point it at a target, get prioritized results in the format your workflow already speaks (table · JSON · SARIF), gate CI on it, and let agents drive it over MCP.

Quick start

pip install cognis-agentsmith
agentsmith --version
agentsmith scan .                       # scan current project
agentsmith scan . --format json         # machine-readable
agentsmith scan . --fail-on high        # CI gate (non-zero exit)

Example

$ agentsmith scan .
  [HIGH    ] AGE-001  example finding             (./src/app.py)
  [MEDIUM  ] AGE-002  another signal              (./config.yaml)

Use it from any AI stack

agentsmith is interoperable with every popular way of using AI:

• MCP server — agentsmith mcp (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cognis.Studio, uncensored-fleet)
• OpenAI-compatible / JSON — pipe agentsmith scan . --format json into any agent or LLM
• LangChain · CrewAI · AutoGen · LlamaIndex — wrap the CLI/JSON as a tool in one line
• CI / scripts — exit codes + SARIF for non-AI pipelines

How it compares

	Cognis agentsmith	CrewAI
Self-hostable, no account	✅	varies
Single command, zero config	✅	⚠️
JSON + SARIF for CI	✅	varies
MCP-native (AI agents)	✅	❌
Polyglot ports (JS/Go/Rust)	✅	❌
Open license	✅ COCL	varies

Built in the spirit of CrewAI / Dify, re-framed the Cognis way. Missing a credit? Open a PR.

Integrations

Pipes into your stack: SARIF for code-scanning, JSON for anything, an MCP server (agentsmith mcp) for AI agents, and a webhook forwarder for SIEM/Slack/Jira. See docs/INTEGRATIONS.md.
